Spyglass Research Facility Field Day

October 24 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Join QDAF for an open day at SPYGLASS to hear updates on current research projects.

Virtually Fence Free Project

This new 4 year experiment is investigating if virtual fencing technology
– can enable the productive use of previously ungrazed pastures
– allow rest on preferred pastures and areas
– maximise pasture production and drought resilience.

Project Partners: NQ Dry Tropics & QDAF

Gully Remediation Project

Explore a variety of gully remediation treatments, from large to small trials on challenging Upper Burdekin soils. With the earthworks now complete, this is your chance to see different approaches in action and learn how they may improve soil health and erosion control.

Project Partners: QDAF & DESI

Qld Pasture Resilience Project, Legume Demonstration Site

The 80ha site was planted in 2021 with separate paddocks of Leucaena, Desmanthus, Stylo and Grass, and has been grazed for two years. Come and see which pastures are performing the best and what is providing the highest cattle weight gains.

Project Partners: MLA & QDAF

This event is jointly funded by the Australian Government through the Future Drought Fund and MLA Donor Company, NQ Dry Tropics, Meat and Livestock Australia and the
